Number Lookup TXT File

we have build a VAD script which looks up a number from a number.txt.
This number.txt is saved under C:\ProgramData\3CX\Data\Http\Interface\ivr. And in the script the file stated as ../number.txt.
This works so far.
But when we try to save the number.txt in an other location, the script won't work anymore.
Why can't we save the number.txt in any location and stated the location in the script?

By default it only allows to access files into the IVR application folder. I'm pretty sure that you can configure it to allow it. Also, I think that this is a limitation of IIS, and very possible it is not there with Abyss, I have not tried, but I think Abyss has not that limitation. Can you confirm that you're using IIS?

So, it seems that Abyss has the same behavior. I'm not an expert with Abyss web server, but pretty sure it can be configured to
allow access to directories outside the application directory. You should be able to reconfigure it to make it work as you need.
